The main thing about the Cube is not the size of the house but the size of the run.

The most I’ve ever kept in the Cube has been one Buff Orpington cockerel, two Buff hens, three Buff x pullets, one Light Sussex x Dorking hen, two bantam cockerels, one Bantam hen and one Silkie hen: which works out as three large chickens, four regular sized and four small. The Bantams and Silkies weren’t meant to be in there, they decided there was more than enough room and moved in!

In the house, there was room for a couple more hens but not in the run. Mine have permanent access to large run so the Cube’s own run doesn’t matter but if they were never or only rarely let out of the Cube, I’d only keep a few hens in there AND get the run extension to give them enough room to stretch their legs. In fact, I’d probably only keep bantams in there.

Hope that helps 🙂
